People Born TO Dance.

Strangers consider us dancing maniacs,
for we are at il all the year around. The
real reason lies partly in our climate and
partly in our population. No other sport
can thrive here in winter. The sea air
and the heat of a half million fires makes
sleighing, shedding and all winter sports
impossible. Then We are made up OF
Scotch. Irish, English, Germans, French,
Italians and Jews-all inveterate dancers.
IL seems as II everybody dances, and
usually on the cooperative plan. Wherever
twenty factory hands or counter girls are
gathered together a ''coterie' or social
club is formed. A years dues and fines,
amounting to nothing until they accumu-
late, serve TO hire a hall and buy a few
tickets and cards, and that is enough.
Every sort Of people give their annual
balls. The elevated train men, the Knights
of Labor, the thousands Of shop girls, the
political clubs, the demi monde, the mar
ketmen, the Catholic societies, the BIZ
cyclers, canoeists, athletic clubs, cigarette
girls, city department employees and every
body else. And it makes no difference
about Sunday either. In fact, Sunday
night is the favorite time for dancing in
the east side tenement district, and even
in the uptown brown stone quarter among
the wealthy Hebrews. Dancing schools
are very numerous, and the latest dance
steps can he learned for prices within the
means Of sewing women, but most Of Us
have dancing born In our heels.-New
York Cor. Providence Journal.

The latest small but gusty breeze in
~altitudinous society was raised over a
question Of dress. II is a custom of the
semi-public balls-those 10 which en-
trance is restricted to a carefully chosen
c~ompany-to inpart an aspect Of seclusion
by having three women pose a. hostesses.
This was done on the occasion in question.
A trio Of Fifth avenues ~proudest and
most respected wives consented to act.
They were to stand in an ante-room Of the
large hall, on a low platform, and bow
greetingly to the arriving guests. That is
how the thing is done. The first Of these
matrons to report for duty was clad in
sumptuous brown brocade. The second
wore pink satin. So far so good. But
the Third came in crimson-a color that
effectually killed the delicate pink of her
proposed companion. The latter angrily
declared that she would not serve. She
was sure that the othtf had known all
about the color question, for il had been
discussed. and deyilish malignity alone
had impelled her 10 put on the destructive
red. The difficulty could not be com
posed, and so two matrons received the
company, while the third mingled with
the throng, trying TO hide her anger under
a placid surface.-Clara Belle In Pioneer

A Plan That Didn't Work.

One druggist hal AN automatic chestnut
register on the door Of the closet In which
he keeps the poisonous stuff' Of his
stock, and IL rings every time the closet is
opened To take anything from IL, The

bell rang, and looked at me susplciously.

'There We're so many occurrences like

A solemn Warning To Over Industrious

In the Office Of an insurance company
ON LaSalle street l saw, the Other day, n
young man eating his lunch at his desk.
Ii was a very modest lunch which his
good mother, a New England Puritan,
haa prepared for him at home with TYP
ical New England simplicity. IL consisted
of bread and butter-the slices of the
former rather thick and the layers Of the
latter quite thin-tw0 hard boiled eggs
and a piece Of mince pie. Doubtless the
pie was good-all New England mince
pie is-but | pitisd the young nan from
the bottom Of my heart. With his glass
Of water from the hydrant, his eyes fixed
upon a letter before him even while he
munched, his attitude reminded me Of
that of a slave bending over his toll and
eating the crust which his hard task
master had begrudgingly flung him. In
ten minutes the lunch was finished, and
then the young man resumed his labors
with reports, policies and letters.
l made some inquiry concerning him,
and learned that he was one Of the most
valuable employees in the ollice-earnest,
faithful and loyal-and that his services
were appreciated and rewarded with a
good salary, out of which he and his
mother, good Yankee that she was, were
daily saving a snug sum. And yet !
pitied him. II ! had been an old man l
should have said 10 him, as earnestly and
paternally rs | knew how: "Young man,
don't eat any more lunches at your desk.
Tell your mother not to put up any more
eggs or mince pies for you; you can't at
ford il. You may save a dime or two
and a half hours time, but you can earn
your salary and more, too, after taking
an hour for a lunch out. The dimes you
are saving now will some day lie needed
to pay doctors bills and support you
when you are too sick to work. Stop this
desk lunching. Go out to a restaurant,
buy some soup, some warm food, take
your time TO its eating, find some con
panions to go with you and chat and
laugh with you. Take a little stroll in
the open air, fill your lungs with oxygen
that is not superheated and l~ifeless, get
your mind away from your work a little
while, and, depend upon il, the sum Of
your life's strength. energy and happiness
will be all the greater for it."-Chicago
